I hate fire drills at work.... not literal fire drills but the shit where product/client-facing people don't pay attention to the metaphorical train coming down the tracks and then when its about to hit us they start panicking and screaming at the top of their lungs to anyone who will listen, they stop following protocol, and they ask for status updates on the same shit every 30 mins thinking it will get them what they want faster.
News flash, if you keep asking tech guys for status updates we get pissed off and we lose time with context switching every 30 mins to satisfy your needy fucktardedness.... if I tell you it will be done in a day or 2 days.... stfu and wait. Panicking and sending 10 e-mails a minute only serves to slow people down as they wade through your babbling nonsense.

like at my old job. Wonder salesmen come and ask us when a job will be done. I would reply with when is it due? Then it will be done by then. If we get it sooner. We'll be sure and let you know.
Then salesman would be like but they need them. And I would say then you wrote the wring due date.
